When he was just 16 years old, Peter “Righteous P” Rodgers, CEO of the Hikari Ultra record label, met Hernandez and let him know that he had the look to be a famous rapper. Two years later, Hernandez began rapping and promoting his own songs, which were well received by the anime community.

The singer decided that his stage name would be Tekashi 6ix9ine. Over time, he became extremely popular, with several singles on Billboard’s Top 100. His professional success also brought various personal problems.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is not only a well-known rapper, he also has a criminal record that is longer than his career. The singer has been indicted on at least nine federal counts and in 2019 he was arrested for gang-related offenses, illegal possession of weapons, and use of illicit substances. Hernández pleaded guilty, in an attempt to cooperate with authorities and reduce his sentence.

In 2020, he was released due to the pandemic, which turned out to play against the singer’s safety. After his arrest, the authorities told Tekashi 6ix9ine he would have to watch his back forever, after testifying against several enemy gang members. In 2023, this became a reality, when the rapper suffered a brutal beating in a Florida gym.
